Chinmaya Jayanti

Vyaasa in his narrative of the Bhagawad Gita, often refers to Krishna, as 'Madhusudana'.

Madhu-sudana means 'slayer of the demon Madhu'.

But, then, "Madhu', in Samskrit language, also means 'honey'  - which is a metaphor for 'Vaasanas'.

Madhu-sudana then, is Krishna, as 'slayer of 'Vaasanas'.

You know, Shakespeare's lines drew plaudits both from the well and the balcony, . . . 

-Swami Chinmayananda Saraswati
